Apple at its Worldwide Developers Conference this morning announced a much-requested feature for Apple Watch: the ability to customize and share third-party watch faces with others. There are now over 20,000 Watch apps available on the Apple Watch App Store, but what has been missing was the ability to fully use all the data from your favorite apps in a single face on your Watch’s main screen. That’s now changing with watchOS 7, says Apple.

With the new software, developers will be able to create multiple, custom complications per app, which then can be used to create custom watch faces. For example, a surf app’s developer could create a “Surf Watch” face that shows things like water temperature, swell and wind speed predictions for your favorite beach. Parents can use the Glow Baby app to track changing and feeding times. Nike Run Club can display stats like the pace from your last run and your weekly run goals.
